Are we trying to provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than He? 1 Corinthians 10:22

“Do you really think you can steal, murder, commit adultery, lie, and burn incense to Baal and all those other new gods of yours, and then come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, ‘We are delivered!’— only to go on doing all these abominations? Yet, they act so pious! They come to the Temple every day and seem delighted to learn all about me. They act like a righteous nation that would never abandon the laws of its God. They ask me to take action on their behalf, pretending they want to be near me”.  My brothers and sisters in Christ, we cannot drink from the cup of the Lord and from the cup of demons, too. We cannot eat at the Lord’s Table and at the table of demons, too. Let us not provoke the Lord to jealousy with our strivings, but repent and return to the Lord, lest his wrath come upon us.
